supradibbs Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 The trial rear comes with the same holes for the number plate the stock one has, just drill off the marked holes and screw it in and bob your uncle As for the front down to personal choice really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Double sided sticky tape stuff for my old car (see garrage) The rear bumper i just ordered a plate of the correct size from a website (dont remember which one) and the number plate lights the bodyshop actualy somehow forgot about them and they were mounted inside the bumper :S. I took it for mot and they pointed it out. Then because it was fully blended the garrage just cut some holes and there they were. Working all along So i guess there is some brackets or something that will hold them but its behind the fibreglass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_si Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 yeh depends how the bodyshop play it really, i may have to cut a hole to feed the wire thruogh and mount it on the underside of the rear plate hole. the front im looking for like a small bike size one if they are legal to perhaps fit to the stock mount and keep that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 One suggestion that was made at a recent meet was to have the number plate like mine but on hinges this as you accelerate it is pushed back allowing more air into the intercooler. Don't know how practical it would be but I liked the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 hmmm yeh thats why i was thinking perhaps have a small thin number plate to maximise the amount of air hitting ther fmic. just not sure on the legalities of one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downimpact Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Mine with jap plate and without for shows and track days In hindsight I would have had the plate put back even further with the brakcet almost against the mesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
